Hello all. I am enjoying this new site I found, RHP, so much so that I have cancelled my subscription to another CC site I am a member of so that my wife won't give me a severe ear bashing when I take out a new subscription here!
I am still provisional and am looking for a 1600+ rated player to kindly challenge me to a game ( I only have 1 slot remaining ) as under the current RHP rules I cannot search using parameters and am going to end up somewhat underrated by the time I reach the required 20 games.
Hope you understand why I do this as I am not particularly ratings obsessed, well maybe a little ๐, I just want to play at my level. Approx 1800 fide.
EDIT: I would like to play 1day per move with zero timetable. Thank you.
Originally posted by C J Horse You could give the game a name like "1600+ rating please". Or just accept whatever games you can get until you reach 20.
I like that idea. If I clearly name the game 1600+ then I won't feel so bad if I have to abort a game to a lower rated player.
It's not like everybody else hasn't had to go through the 20 game provisional stage. Can someone pass me my dummy please!
I suggest winning a few games against the 1200 players. Your rating will rise soon enough. Your K value is very high with few games so a win against even a low rated player will give you lots of rating points. If you really are 1800 strength, you'll crush them.

Edit: Oh, I see you already have a high rating.
Thank you bursitis. I took the advice of a previous poster and named my open invites "1600+ players please".
It works a charm and have picked up a game against a 1900+ in which I lost quickly(: and a 1800+ player.

Not sure of the rules here at RHP regarding other sites so I shall err on the safe side of caution and say it is the biggest CC site out there. A simple Google for online chess and it is at the top for results.

I think, RHP is very very 'flexible' in this rules. I guess nobody is going to delete a forum message just because the name of another chess server. Free speech is the rule!!.
-
Now, I know this previous web site, and is very expensive, and RHP has more features like ladders, clubs and clans, and I guess again 'sieges'.
-
And the best of all ... the time controls with some extra days.
-
so enjoy the site, there are plenty of very good chess players here
